That Age Is Easier
Since Lise was already 6 years old, it made Dale’s life easier. He didn’t have to deal with the constant attention a newborn requires because she was already independent and well-behaved. This girl needed a family and kindness, and he was there to give it!
She Was Disciplined
After spending so much time at the orphanage, Lise was already so disciplined, which made things easier for both her and Dale. The only issue was creating a genuine connection, and Dale tried to do so by being compassionate, kind, and supportive. Lise needed a family, and he desperately wanted to become one.
